Works great! Took hiking into tide pools and waterfalls and boat trips. Everything stayed bone dry! Recommending to all my friends

I haven’t used it for that long, but the quality looks/feels nice. The zippers need a bit of a tug to open, but there are loops that help with opening the zippers easily. It looks waterproof, but I haven’t tested it yet.

Beautiful!

This is a very high quality shirt. I would say it subtly beautiful.

This is a pretty great bag if you spend a lot of time on or near the water. It’s got a tough, thick, waterproof material with heat-sealed seams and a really tight zipper, so you don't have to worry about your stuff getting wet or sandy. It’s big enough for towels, sunscreen, and snacks, but not so big that it gets too heavy to carry. It even floats, as long as it's not totally stuffed. A couple of other handy features are the included zipper grease to keep it working smoothly, and the shoulder strap for easier carrying. The bottom also has some structure, so it stands up on its own on the sand, which is a nice touch. You also get a symmetrical layout of interior pockets to keep your things organized. Basically, if you want a reliable bag that keeps your stuff dry at the beach or on a boat, this one is a solid choice. Not bad for the price.

Simple, clean, and it protects. Perfect if you don't want to think about getting stuff wet ever again.

Got this backpack for my boyfriend for Christmas. He’s had a few instances of his backpack going overboard when offshore fishing. He LOVES this backpack - definitely his go to for fishing now!

These are not only sharp looking , but also comfortable and waterproof! All in one ! The best!

Love this company, brand and customer service.

Love the design and durability!! I work as a boat captain, and i have found my favorite waterproof bag brand :) Thank you so much for creating high quality gear! And great compliments. I keep my dive/rescue fins attached outside for easy access, and everything i need dry inside neatly organized thanks to all the zippered compartments! Mahalo from Hawaii 🌺

awesome backpack! was comparing this one to some of the competition like $300 the Yeti Panga. I was able to check out the Yeti at a store and The Breakwater Supply bag has the same if not BETTER quality than the Yeti backpack and only for a fraction of the cost! I would highly recommend Breakwater Supply waterproof backpacks to anyone looking for a fully waterproof submersible backpack.

Use onboard a kayak for emergencies. Waterproof bag seems of good quality and is a better option over hard plastic which might crack and then leak.

Shipping was fast, received 3 days after ordering. Must say this is some cool outdoor gear! New hiking companion.

Awesome pack! Light weight and water tight!

After having really bad experiences with supposedly waterproof dry bags and backpacks, I decided I need to do more research and be prepared to spend a little extra in order to get quality gear. When it comes to sensitive items that just can't get wet such as electronics, towels or layers of clothes designed to keep me warm, I don't want to take any chances. I found the gear I was looking for from Breakwater Supply. The River UTE backpack is exactly what I needed and more. It is completely waterproof and submersible. The lashing points are extremely handy for attaching the backpack onto my paddle board or kayak and they are also useful for attaching webbing that allows me to store wet gear such as water shoes or a wet towel on the outside as pictured. The pockets on the sides fit my tall smart water bottles perfectly and the velcro straps on the top sides fit around the cap of the bottle as if that's exactly what they were designed to do. There is a smaller waterproof zippered pocket for my wallet and keys. There is a much more heavy duty waterproof zipper for the main compartment. It stores my Nesso beach tent with the back lash straps holding the poles as pictured. With all that there's still loads of room inside the 20 l Main compartment for a towel, food and also an air inflator if I choose. My buddy likes to use the same backpack to store a miniature fishing pole and fishing gear. There are three additional compartments inside the main compartment of the backpack, but I may not need those until I want to hike with it in areas where I have to walk through water. From hiking and urban exploration to kayaking and paddle boarding, I am a big fan of functional multi-purpose gear and this backpack delivers in aces!

This 15 L pack holds 7+ large individually wrapped swimbaits, leader line spools, nose and split ring pliers, supporting terminal tackle, gloves, towel, scale, phone, and map with room to spare. Sturdy zippers with positive lock and fat pulls allow for fast, precise, openings and closings. No more rolltop sacks holding up the show. Superior shell materials and construction combine with the zipper system to create a compact, comfortable, and truly waterproof bag. The best backpack planetwide for focused kit boat or bank anglers targeting big bass with big baits. Hands down.

This kit is great to throw in the truck, boat, or backpack. Compact.
